NHL ROUNDUP Monday’s game

Flyers 3, Canadiens 2

PHILADELPHIA — Martin Biron stopped 32 shots and Philadelphia scored three goals in the second period to take a 2-1 lead in their second-round series. Game 4 is Wednesday in Philadelphia. Mike Richards, R.J. Umberger and Scottie Upshall all scored goals on the first six shots of the second against 20-year-old Carey Price. Price never made it to the end, yanked at the start of the third period for Jaroslav Halak. Price might not make it back as the starter for Game 4. Biron lost his shutout — and the Flyers nearly wasted a three-goal lead — when defenseman Derian Hatcher was ejected from the game and Montreal capitalized on the power play. Hatcher drove his right arm into the center of defenseman Francis Bouillon’s back and slammed him into the glass. Bouillon, who wears a visor, was cut near the corner of his right eye. Hatcher was tossed and Tomas Plekanec quickly scored a power-play goal off a scrum in front of the net to make it 3-1.
